Good morning. Oh my some sturdy Americans are still up. CZ and Surreal I expected, but Ejoslin? Anyway, what a way to wake up. Hitler and flame-throwers. I didn't quite expect those, lol.

OMG, CZ, ummmm. Some of those were just WRONG! Xander just has too much, ummmm, on the outside for some of those! Alistair could drop his templar training to become a sword swallower. Plus, Xander just looks weird smiling.

Hey there. I looked again CZ (in the name of research, of course), and I'm still not too convinced that Xander isn't enjoying himself, at least to some extend. Maybe it's because I'm used him making scowly/frowny faces. And it's the first time I've seen him smile... somewhat. Ever.

Well, you know him best CZ, so I'll concede. I wonder why he looks pained though. Disappointment in Alistair's performance perhaps?

Oh, a mixture of disappointment and true pain then. Poor Xander. I hope he's dedicated enough to hang in there and show Ali the ropes (so to speak, not Zevran's ropes, lol)

I just realized something. In Zevran's confrontation conversation, he says he is "no cheat." But technically what he had with Isabela was cheating, correct? Since she was married and all. But did it not count in his mind because he didn't really care about her or because she wasn't "in love" with her husband?


It seems to me that before the characters hit the 'choosing' point, all affairs are openly conducted (the companions know about them and talk about them).   There's no 'cheating'.  Once two or more hit that choosing point, there's no option to continue.  Zevran seems to be speaking as if there was an option there (although one he doesn't let you take) to have a secret affair wtih him.    I suppose that's honourable.  You are all living and working together, and a secret affair would be pretty tacky and unpleasant.  He does consider the other person's feelings.

(I think the implication is there, that if the other person didn't mind, he'd happily carry on sharing)

He's also not sure of his own feelings at that point, so he doesn't ask the warden to choose him (unlike the others, I think.  I'm trying to remember their conversations.   I'm pretty sure Morrigan says that she won't share.  I think Zevran is the only one who doesn't bring his own feelings into it).   As usual, he leaves it up to the warden, and doesn't try to make a case for himself. 

That's the way I see it, and I suppose the Isabella case was different because he wasn't living/working with her husband and didn't need to consider his feelings.    You get the idea that this is fairly new to him.   I think it says a lot for him that he does respect the feelings of other party member when it comes to love/strong romantic feelings.

ETA: I agree that it's not obvious what he means by being a 'cheat'.  It puzzled me.  I've thought about it a lot and I'm still not sure I've got it right.

ETA2: And if it's a case of what triggers the conversation, then yes, it wouldn't be an issue if he didn't care for Isabella and/or her husband didn't care for her.   What Isabella felt woud be irrelevant, as that seems to be the case with the warden. If the warden is in love with the other person, or doesn't give a jot about the other person, it makes no difference.  It's the other person caring (while Zevran does) that forces a choice.   I'm confusing myself now.

Ahem!

You and Zevran are stranded on a tropical isle (Draw from Six Days, Seven Nights if you seen it). You have yourselves and the wreckage of the ship you were on with you, washed up along the beach, of course.

My question is what are three other things you would absolutely have to make this a maker-blessed paradise?

Myself I would have:

1.Massage oil...by the barrel
2. A salvageable mattress..sand only holds so much appeal
3.Bananas...:innocent:


Rope?

Afraid I can't laugh at a man slapping a woman, even a video game version. Besides which Morrigan actually was an abused child... alright, I know I'm being a stick in the mud.


Don't worry, I got the same feeling as you from that part, even though I know it's meant as a joke.  It made me uncomfortable to watch it.  

(The funniest part was the 'dress up' part).

Zevran will only call the PC on the carpet when he reaches "Adore". Before that stage, he views sex as a physical pleasure/working tool only. As soon as real feelings are involved, he no longer sees it that way.

Alistair/Leliana have to be at "adore" as well as Zevran for him to make the PC choose. So the 'cheating' refers to feelings, not sex, in my personal opinion.

Sorry Kryyptehk, I've been checking around myself for that tattoo. I rather like it too. No luck so far, though. Unfortunately.

I agree with you... he cares, but he doesn't like to talk about his feelings and he doesn't want to burden the Warden. I agree more after digging around in the toolset. I'll post most of the Ali/Zev dialogue here, and I'm sure I'll have to edit this post because of the stupid formatting :pinched:

Zevran: You wish to talk? Ah, good. I have a question for you. (curious)
Zevran: You and Alistair are quite close, are you not? I am curious as to the nature of your relationship. (he's bringing up a delicate topic)

1. PC: Why? Are you jealous?
Zevran: Jealous? *Laughs* Not I, no. But one does not need to be jealous to be leery of rushing headlong into... complicated situations. (amused -- but also broaching an awkward topic)

2. PC: It's not what you think.
Zevran: Isn't it? I've watched you and he together. I know a complication when it rears its head and threatens to bite. ("who are you kidding?")


Both lead to:
Zevran: You and I have had our fun, but if this thing between you and Alistair is leading somewhere, I'll happily step aside. Complication avoided. Everyone's the happier, yes? (makes it like it's no big thing)

1. PC: It would be that easy, would it?
Zevran: Oh, I don't know that "easy" is the right word. Perhaps "necessary" would be better. (trying to maintain his uncaring facade, not doing a very good job)

2. PC: But I don't want you to step aside.
Zevran: *Chuckles* And I have no burning need to do so, but this is not so simple a matter. (amused and chagrined)

3. PC: We've "had our fun?"
Zevran: Have we not? I enjoy our time together, but it is not so simple as that. ("let's be realistic")

4. PC: If that's what you want.
Zevran: What I want? If only it were so simple. (glum)


All lead to:
Zevran: I make no claims upon you, nor would I dream of such. You are free to pursue your fancies as you desire, and I would have it no other way. (being very reasonable)
Zevran: I suspect Alistair, however, would not feel the same way. If there is to be something between you and I, to string him along would only hurt him deeply. Surely you know this is true. (uncomfortable)

1. PC: That is between Alistair and me.

2. PC:
You aren't going to force me to choose, are you?

3. PC: I know no such thing!

4. PC: There was never any "you and I."
Zevran: Ah. Then it was good we settled this now, no? (sad)
Zevran: At any rate... the air is now clear and we are free to continue on. Come! We've much to do. (disappointed but trying to look on the bright side)


1-3 lead to:
Zevran: And what would you have me do, then? I am many things: A murderer, a thief, a lover... but I am no cheat. If whatever is between us cannot be honest, let it not be at all. (uncomfortable)

1. PC: I want you. No question.
Zevran: And glad I am to hear it. You will need to be the one that tells Alistair, however. (relieved)

2. PC: Then we're done. I'm sorry.
Zevran: No no, no need to apologize. This is how things must be. (disappointed but realistic)

3. PC: You leave me no choice. Alistair it is.
Zevran: Ah, well. What can I say, truly? Alistair is a lucky man. (disappointed)


1. Leads to the poetry reading
2-3 lead to:
Zevran: At any rate... the air is now clear and we are free to continue on. Come! We've much to do. (disappointed but trying to look on the bright side)

Yeah, Zevran and his awkwardness at real romance is heartwarming in itself. :wub:

I'm very impressed with your thoroughness, Fuzzy. That's quite an efficient way to post a whole conversation tree.

*is awestruck*

Ah I see. I know that one. "I'll have to think about things, so I'll do a little something else meanwhile. It'll be the best for my paper." The fond memories of student life.

I so would have loved to be able to put fire to the APA manual, and it's German equivalent, the DFG rules and regs.

Stayed up far, far too late working on some mods, lol. Thought I'd post a few screenshots before I fall asleep. These are works in progress. The human male is a dummy model, so he has the default appearance.

This scene is 10 seconds long, and is supposed to be a tender, clothes-on scene. I will probably adjust it for the other PC races & genders at a later time.

edit: forgot one..  thanks Sabriana -_-
